America’s sweethearts of horrorcore music, the Insane Clown Posse (ICP), are once again under the media spotlight, after two Maryland fans (or “Juggalos”) were arrested for attempted murder, after they allegedly tried to carve off their roommate’s ICP tattoo because he hadn’t “earned it.”

Victim Zachary Swanson was beaten severely before Paul Martin Hurst and Carey Lee Edwards tried to cut out the offending tattoo from Swanson’s arm, CBS Detroit reports. Dissatisfied with their results, they allegedly then drenched Swanson’s arm with flammable liquid and lit it on fire.

After being rushed to a Baltimore hospital’s burn unit, Swanson's arm had to be amputated below the elbow, CBS reports.

The second man to be sentenced in the beating, burning, cutting and stomping of a fellow Insane Clown Posse follower in the Hebron area received 40 years in prison...

Co-defendant Cary Edwards was recently sentenced to 30 years of active time with the remainder of a life sentence suspended, along with five years of supervised probation...

Among 31-year-old victim Zach Swanson's injuries were cuts and bruises, burns, internal bleeding, fractured ribs and a lacerated spleen and liver, Wicomico County State's Attorney Matt Maciarello said at Hurst's plea hearing in March. He also had to have an arm amputation, Maciarello said.
